Retry pops up the same window again, and Switch To closes that pop-up and brings up the Windows start menu. If I now try to start mp3tag again, we're back to the original problem, but now the exe has graduated to being listed among the Apps in Task Manager, instead of among the Background Processes.
That would make absolutely perfect sense. For many many years my Windows laptop has had problems with thumbnails and file icons not loading, and I remember having to use something other than mp3tag there. Sometime early this year my desktop (Where this occurred) started having the same issue. And I don't think I have used mp3tag on here since before that started happening.
yes, i want to have one window (mp3tag) just to show all information of all 100 thousands of mp3 files
and at the same time i want to have another window (another instance of mp3 tag) where i edit only special (single) subdirectories.
First, I admit your effort to help all kind of users. Very very nice.
Things are clear. Developer vs need. Developer says it is not possible. End of story.
Trying to convince people they don't need this feature because they can use some rather inconvenient workarounds is not nice either.
We all know mp3tag is very nice tool (for most of us is likely the best) and has a lot of functionality but it is not perfect (no tool can). Trying to defend it more that it deserves becomes somehow "annoying".
Good day.
I only recently found a tag editor. I saw mp3tag editor but was turned off by "mp3" unknowingly. So I purchased meta from apple store which seems very similar. I couldn't believe how many errors I had to correct in file names before I could start moving to fixing genre tags. Example: Simon and Garfunkel vrs Simon & Garfunkel. Beatles vrs The Beatles. After that you can tailor genres to your liking. To me ACDC is "loud rock" and so I edited a new genre! Now I'm hijacking the "album artist" tag to make my own groupings. Anything you want. I use it to create a genre subset. An example is ROCK-HR, ROCK-CD and ROCK-P. This allows me to drill down to resolution formats for each genre. And its so easy and fast!
Even though I have never regretted the switch after Win7 to MacOS, the tagging was never solved. Will definitely start using mp3tag on the Mac now. One function, I am still missing is a lookup in the own database while typing. Let's say, I want to add the composer, and I want to always use "Beethoven, Ludwig van (1770 - 1827)". To my knowledge, mp3tag not really offer a nice solution, or I missed it. Any suggestions?
When I started ripping CDs and storing them on a NAS about 10 years ago I was faced with a huge variety of tagging. In particularly classical CDs were particularly bad as they often have works br a range of composers and artists. My solution was to re-purpose 'Album' to 'Work'. This has resulted in my library being very easy to search and play classical music. My question is what would mp3tag come up with when faced with all these albums that now contain a single work?
Mp3Tag can be made portable using the amazing app called JauntePE. The registry is redirected to a folder in my pendrive and all configuration is always with me. I will use my "jaunterized" version until the mp3tag devolpers team release a portable official launcher
